DOES NOT CLEAN ENTIRE POOL (MISSES AREAS)
Your.cleaner.is.designed.to.clean.the.pool.many.times.over.within.its.recommended.cleaning.cycle.by.moving.along.the.
width.of.the.pool.(side.wall.towards.side.wall),.not.the.length.
Your. cleaner. operates. by. crossing. over. 50%. of. the. floor’s. width,. stop. and. reverse. on. an. angle. or. arc. to. move. back.
towards.the.original.side.wall...Once.the.cleaner.reaches.the.original.wall.it.will.reverse.and.repeat.this.process.with.
varied.distances.across.the.width.of.the.pool..It.will.only.partially.climb.the.original.wall.every.4.times...(See.also.Pages.
7;.CLEANING.PATTERN)
If.large.portions.of.the.pool.are.missed,.then.please.check.the.following:
1.. Be.sure.that.the.Power.Supply.(Page.4;.Fig..4).and.is.located.in.the.center.of.either.one.of.the.long.sides.of.the.pool.
(Page. 6;. Fig.. 6b).. . This. will. allow. optimum. use. of. the. Floating. Cable’s. length. (Page. 6;. SETTING. UP. THE. POWER.
SUPPLY)...Make.sure.the.Floating.Cable.is.untangled.and.spread.out.on.the.water’s.surface.and.that.there.is.adequate.
Cable.length.for.cleaner.to.reach.all.areas.of.the.pool.
2.. The. Fine. Filter. Bag. may. remove. particulates. 20. times. smaller. than. what. is. visible. to. the. naked. eye.. Thoroughly.
clean.the.Filter.Bag.to.remove.it.of.the.fine.particles.embedded.within.the.Bag.fibers.(See.Page.8,.CLEANING.AND.
CHANGING.THE.FILTER.BAG)...
To test if the Filter Bag is inhibiting the cleaner’s performance, simply remove the
Filter Bag from the Bottom Lid Assembly (Page 8; Fig. 8)
...Then.re-insert.the.Bottom.Lid.Assembly.into.the.cleaner.
and.operate.the.cleaner.without.the.Bag...If.the.cleaner.pumps.water.strongly,.and.climbs.the.walls.properly,.then.you.
have.confirmed.that.the.Filter.Bag.requires.a.thorough.cleaning.
3.. Check.that.the.Pump.Motor.(Page.3;.Fig..1,.7).is.operating...Please.refer.to.the.Troubleshooting.Guide.(In.Depth).section.
titled.MOVES.BUT.DOES.NOT.PICK.UP.DIRT.AND.DEBRIS.(Page.18).
4.. Remove.obstructions.from.your.pool...Objects.protruding.from.walls.may.impede.the.left/right.movement.of.your.
cleaner.when.it.is.at.the.waterline.causing.the.cleaner.to.remain.in.one.or.two.sections.while.missing.others...For.
optimal.performance,.it.is.recommended.to.remove.objects.from.the.pool.walls.when.operating.your.cleaner...If.some.
objects,.such.as.ladders,.can.not.be.removed.during.your.cleaner’s.cleaning.cycle,.place.the.cleaner.in.each.of.the.
‘separate’.portions.of.the.pool.allowing.each.portion.separate.complete.cleaning.cycles...In.this.case.place.the.Power.
Supply.at.the.farthest.points.of.the.pool.during.each.cleaning.cycle.
5.. Check. that. the. Drive. Belts. and. Drive. Tracks. are. properly. aligned. and. are. taut. (Pages. 11-13).. . Adjust. or. replace. if.
necessary.
6.. Check. for. excessive. wear. of. the. Scrubbing. Brushes,. which. provide. traction. for. climbing. and. replace. if. necessary.
(Pages.10-11;.SCRUBBING.BRUSHES.and.REPLACEMENT).
NOTE: Rubber Brushes begin to stiffen in water less than 70ºF which lessens their ability to climb and move.
7.. Add.Flotation.(Page.9).
8.. With.your.hand,.feel.the.lower.surface.of.your.pool.walls.just.above.the.floor...In.rare.instances.the.pool.walls.may.
be.slippery.due.to.to.either.algae.or.a.newly.polished.finish.and.may.require.manual.cleaning/brushing.first.
Please.see.a.water.chemistry.specialist,.such.as.your.Authorized.Dealer,.for.proper.treatment.of.your.algae.type...If.it.is.
suggested.to.“Shock”.your.pool,.and.then.manually.brush.and.vacuum.the.dead.algae.from.all.surfaces.to.remove.the.
bulk.of.the.algae.from.the.pool,.please.know.that.if.you.use.your.cleaner.to.remove.the.dead.algae.then.the.Filter.Bag.will.
clog.quickly,.requiring.several.cleaning.cycles.and.many.through.Filter.Bag.cleanings...Additionally,.your.cleaner’s.Brushes.
will.become.covered.with.algae.and.will.require.that.they.be.thoroughly.cleaned.to.ensure.traction.for.further.use.
9.. If.you.use.a.non-chlorine.coagulating.solution.(i.e..Baquacil
®
).to.clean.your.pool.a.clear.slick.film.may.form.along.
your.pool’s.walls.impeding.the.cleaner’.ability.to.climb...We.suggest.adding.225.to.300.parts.per.million.of.Calcium.
Hardener.to.your.pool.water.to.combat.the.film.build-up.
